The machine in the illustrative form of embodiment disclosed herein isdesigned,

more especiall for use in savings banks and the like, or insuringaccuracy in and facilitating the recording of the amount depositedandamount withdrawn by depositors and computing. the new balance of saiddepositors. The machine ismore particularly adapted separately tototalize the amount deposited, totalize the amou'nt'withdrawn, tocompute the new balance, and to print the depositors n'umbenthe amountdeposited or'withdrawn by' the depositor, the previous balance of thedepositor and also the n w balance-of said depositor on a permanentrecord retained in the machine, and to print upon the depositorspassbook in the possessionjof the depositor and on the depositors card suchas' is in the files in the savings bank the total amount of the deposit.the total amount of withdrawal. and the new balance standing to. thedepositors account. the total amount of the deposit together with thenew balance also being printed upon a deposit slip. Although theaccompanying drawings show the in- \ention in preferred formgapplied tothis particular use it is to be understood that it is not intended tovlimit the invention to a plan view partly in re 32 is a fragmentary viewillustrat such use as it --is equally weii adapted, for use ininstitutions similar to savings banks,"

Described in general terms-the machine comprises two" totalizer linesmounted in frames which are movable ,to brin any one fof the pluralityof individual itotal zers constituting each totalizer line intooperative relation with differential actuators controlled byimanipulative; means, such as banks of k ys. There isialso a subtractingtotalizerof the typeillustrated in a former patent of applicant No.15242170, which totalizer is also movable but only a predeter-' mineddistance in each direction for the purpose of either; adding to orsubtracting therefrom.. The movement of the frame of the twbtotaliz'erlines whicheach comprise a plurality ofjndividual totalizers" iscontrolled by two banks of keys, the keys in one bankirepresenting forinstance,.'t he' different tellers inthe savings bank, two keys, in thisbank b ingun'der the control of tech teller and thcsetwo keysbearing the-te1lers initial, the keys however, being of ditl'erent'colors theonetobe pressed by the teller when the transaction is a deposit andtheother. key to be pressedfiwhen the transaction is a withdrawal. Thesetellerls. keys serve to shift the totalizer line 'so that a totalizerappropriate to the-key pressed-will be actuated bythe-difierentiaimechanism. 7

The movements, of-- the other frame which carries the totaliz enlinehaving aplurality of individual totalizers ure controlled b another keybank representing various 'dii ferent transactions'such as-foreignchecks,-

As, previously stated. no key is depressed to position the. totalwithdmwal total-{oer for actuation by the differential 'mech anisn1 sothat during a total taking operation when 'it'is desired 'to' take thetotal withdrawal from the withdrawalltotalizer means is prof-1 vided forprinting an indication that the amount is a total of the withdrawaltransaction. This printing mechanism is set by the total lever whichcooperates with the rmtingelimination mechanism associated with thetransaction key bank so that when -the total lever is moved one step toeither its total or reset position the type carrier will occupy a zeroposition at which associated with the transaction bank will not be movedto its non-print position but 'int the said type carrier is providedwith a character W to print an indication of the novel means connectedwith the totalizing lever so that upon adjusting the lever to set In themachine conditiomto 'take total or read the totals of the variouscounters, a type wheel will beset to print a character to show that theamount printed was impressed either during a total taking or readingoperation of the machine.

The functions and construction of the machine itself will be hereinafterdescribed in detail with reference t the accompanying drawings, themanipulation of the machine when used in a savings bank being asfollows. The c'ustomer presents his book and deposit slip, together withthe items of deposit which ma I consist of foreign checks, individualchec s, clearance house checks, and cash.' The teller first sets 11 thecustomers account number with the' edger device and the amount of thecustomers old balance upon the amount key bank. He then depresses theoldbalance key and the balance key whereb the transaction is printedupon the detail strip and the amount of the old balance added upon thebalance totalizer. The teller then inserts the customers pass book anddeposit slip within the printer and presses the amount keyscorresponding t the total amount of the deposit, his tellers receivingkey and the deposit key in both the transaction and balance key banks.The machinewill then print the total amount of deposit in the depositcolumn of the pass book and on the detail strip and the amount of thedeposit will be added uponthe tellers receiving totalizer, on the total'deposit counter, and on the counter containing the old balance thuscreating a new balance. Duri the operation just described "the depositslip was ejected from the machine after it was printed upon and-previousto the makin of an impression upon the pass book. e deposit slip isagain placed back in the printer by .the teller and'the re-setting leveris drawn to the balance position and the new balance key and balance keyare depressed. The new balance will then be printed in the balancecolumn of the pass book, and also upon the deposit slip. At the sanietime the balance totalizer is cleared and the reset lever is then thrownback to the add ing position. After the pass book has been removedfromthe printer the teller then registers the amount of cash in thedeposit by depressing the amount key, the'casn ke and the release key.The amountflwill on y be accumulated on the cash totalizer in thisoperation and the total standing thereon will give to the teller thetotal amount of cash taken during the da andthus pro vide him with acheck on is cash'balance. The preceding description covers the operationof the machine in connection with de-' posits. j

In handling withdrawals the customer presents his pass book atthe-window of the card clerk with the statement'as to theamount hedesires to withdraw. The card clerk has a machine identical with the.tellefisamachine which is described herein.

The card clerk takes from the card file the customers ledger card andthen manipulates the register as follows. 'He first sets up thecustomers account number with the ledger device and the amount of thecustomers old balance uponthe amount banks and operates the-machine inthe same manner as when a deposit is handled by the receiving teller. Hethen places the customers pass'book and the ledger card in the printer,presses theamount keys to the amount of the withi drawal, his ayininitial key and also "the withdrawal ey. he operation of the .machineprints the amount ofwithdrawal in the withdrawal column of the pass bookand in the withdrawal columnof the ledger card and creates a new balanceon the balance totalizer. At the same time the amount is added on the'tellers. withdrawal totalizer U and also on the total withdrawaltotalizer. During the operation just described the ledger card wasejected from the machine to permit an impressionto be made on the passook and after this impression is made the card is placed back, into theprinter by the clerk and the total lever thrown to the re-set position.The new balance key and balance ey are tlien depressed and when themachineis operated the new balance will be no rinted in the balancecolumn on both the edger card and the pass book and the balancetotalizer is left clear. The clerk may then either give the customer theamount of hiswithdrawal in cash or may if the customer desires or shouldthe system of the bank so require give to the customer a check to theamount of his withdrawal which the customer signs and presents at'thetellers window for payment. The teller then places this check in hismachine, depressing. the amount keys to the amount of. the withdrawal,his tellers. paying keyand the release'key. prints the amount of thewithdrawal on-the check and adds the amount on theItellerspayingitotalizei" and also on the granditotal withdrawal totalizer. Whenthis system .is used, that is, where the card clerk presents thecustomer with a check for. the amount of the withdrawal andthe combinedpaying andreceiving teller 'cashes the check, the totalwithdrawaltotalizer in the tellers machine and the withdrawal totalizerin the card clerk's register should balance and provide' a check oneagainst the other.-

The urpose of this construction will be hereinafterdescribed in detail. v
